"Oh this is a Ladrien episode so be prepared for a lot of blushing and stuttering." Madison grabbed a bowl of popcorn..

"Uhm okay?" They lifted a brow and she sat down and started the episode.

Scene: TVi studio. "The Challenge" is on the air.

Alec: Welcome back to everyone's #1 live game show, The Challenge! Let's give it up for our awesome contestant, Nino!
(Nino enters the stage)
Alec: So Nino, you're a student and a DJ. That's pretty awesome! Check out the desk we got for you!
The scene shifts to Marinette's house.

Marinette: Grounded? For what?
Tom: Let's jog your memory, Marinette. Monday morning, absent from P.E....
Marinette: I(Ladybug cheering after a near helicopter crash) was in study hall.
Tom: Friday evening, absent from study hall.
Marinette: ( Ladybug saving a cat from a tree) I was at P.E.!

"The police and firemen could've handled the cat." Alya huffed,

Tom: You're never where you're supposed to be, Marinette! The only way we can keep track of you is by keeping you here, grounded.
Marinette: But I was invited... Nino is my friend, he was counting on me.
Alec: So, the challenge the viewers have chosen for you is... To get the mayor of Paris, André Bourgeois, to dance! Thank you for going to play with us today, sir. What are Nino's chances tonight?
André Bourgeois: Zero. I despise dancing. The last time I set foot on a dance floor, Madonna was in kindergarten.
Tom: I know Nino's your friend. But until your unexcused absences come to an end, that's the way it's going to be.
Marinette: Awesome. (She goes to her room, sad. Tom puts his hand on Sabines lap)

"Holy you're right." Everyone was suddenly terrified of him.

Tikki: Can you blame them? How are they supposed to know that you're missing class to save the world?
Marinette: I guess being grounded comes with the territory of being a top secret superhero. Doesn't seem fair though.
Tikki: It's not. But hey, if Nino wins, you're not grounded next week. You can go see him at the show!
Marinette: Yeah, but Adrien was there today! (turns on the computer, and Nino can be seen DJing.)

"You saw him anyways." Madison laughed.

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

Hawk Moth: A challenge... what an interesting concept. A TV show with such potential with negative emotions. Oh, the destructive mayhem we could cause...
Scene: Marinette's room

Marinette: Seriously? How can you say that, Alya?
Alya: Sorry, but I kinda get your dad, Marinette. You're never where you say you'll be. Showing up late, splitting mysteriously and all. And all suspect you were leading... a double life.
Marinette: Gimme a break! You're being ridiculous.

"So close!" Ivan laughed.

"I couldn't let her know!" Mairnette crossed her arms.

TVi studio. Simon Grimault arrives and salutes Adrien. The Gorilla tries to rush him away, but Adrien calms him.

Alec: Victory! Challenge conquered by Nino. You moved your head to the beat, Mayor Bourgeois! That counts as dancing!
André Bourgeois: What?! That's not true! My neck was... itching, that's all.
Alec: Relieving an inch to the beat counts as dancing too! Nino, congratulations. You'll return in one week to meet your next challenge! And now, for our next contestant, welcome Simon Grimault!
Adrien: Awesome, dude!
Alec: Mr. Grimault, you are a hypnotist. You use cards to hypnotize people to get what you want from them!
Simon: Well, yes, I'm a hypnotist. But, uh, I don't use my skills to get anything.
Alec: So, your challenge today, Simon, is to use your talents to bring a very elusive celebrity to this very TV set! Give it up for the king of fashion, Gabriel Agreste!
Gabriel: What is this show? I was told this was an interview.
Nino: Dude, your dad!
Alec: Do your thing, Grimault, let's see if you can bring Mr. Agreste here with your hypnotic persuasion!
Simon: I told you, I don't make people--
Alec: Ha! A shy hypnotist! How funny is that, Gabriel?
Gabriel: Hilarious. Your show is pathetic. And so is your contestant. Control me? Never. (ends the transmission)
Alec: Huh?
Adrien: That's my dad, all right.
Alec: Looks like Mr. Agreste has turned down your challenge. Game over!
Simon: But... that's not fair! I didn't even get time to... (is brought off the stage)

"He should've gave him another celebrity." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Hawk Moth: Yes. Humiliation and anger. The perfect elements for transforming a loser into a winner. (turns a butterfly into an akuma) Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize him!
(The akuma flies and infects Simon's card)
Hawk Moth: I am Hawk Moth. You are now Simon Says. I will help you be the most powerful hypnotist ever. You will help me in return when the time's right. So, do we have a deal, Simon Says?
Simon: Simon says yes. (turns into Simon Says and goes inside the studio) Simon says the show is not over!
Alec: What on earth?!
Simon Says: (picks a card) Silence! Simon says you're lame! As lame as a duck! (throws the duck card at Alec, and he starts acting like a duck. The Gorilla tries to stop him) Simon says stop! (throws a card with a pause sign at the Gorilla and freezes him) Simon says you are a gorilla! (throws the goriilla card at him and he starts acting like a gorilla)

"Do you even know his name 'cause we've been calling him Gorilla because of this."

"He doesn't talk so no."Adrien sighed.

The scene shifts to Marinette's room.

Tikki: Marinette, look!
Marinette: (Sees the screen) Ah! I gotta go, Alya!
Alya: (from phone) Have a good one! I'll go back to my babysitting.
Marinette: Tikki, what am I gonna do? I'm grounded!
Tikki: You don't have a choice! You must transform! We just have to be extra careful! Use that pillow under your sheets.
(Marinette goes to her beed and sees the pillow. She takes the pillow and rearranges the bed, to make it look like she is sleeping under it)
Tikki: Lookin' good.

"And now you just gave her a way to sneak out at night when she's grounded again." Kim laughed.

"Oopsy." Tikki giggled making Plagg blush.

[ Transformation Sequence ]
Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Ha! (Marinette turns into Ladybug)

Scene: TVi studio.

Simon Says: Gabriel Agreste turned on my challenge and now he will pay for it! By midnight tonight, he will entertain us in this very TV studio. Gabriel, I'm coming to get you!
(Cat Noir sees him in the ceiling)
Cat Noir:Dad?
Hawk Moth: It's risky. But it's giving me an idea. Good luck, Simon Says.

"Why is it risky?" Kim lifted a brow.

"Make a theory about it, in fact everyone make a theory about who he could be and in a couple of episodes we'll discuss them." Everyone nodded and started thinking.

(Cat Noir sees Nino hiding)
Cat Noir: Cat Noir says: Zip it and gimme those cards!
Simon Says: (throws the cards) My gorilla will take care of you. Simon says.. knock him out! (throws a card at the Gorilla and he knocks Cat Noir out of the studio)
Cat Noir: I may not always land on my feet, but I always bounce back!

"Shut up. I swear to god you will be dead to me if you make one more pun." Nino glared at Adrien.

Simon Says: (picks up the cards) I could use an army.
Outside the studio. A group of people are waiting for the elevator, but Simon Says appears.

Simon Says: Simon says... you are all soldiers! (they run away, but he throws soldier cards at them) Simon says... search all over Paris, my army, and find Gabriel Agreste!
(Meanwhile, Cat Noir is fighting the Gorilla. He hits him with his staff, but he grabs the staff)
Cat Noir: Better watch out. My sensei told me that-- (The Gorilla grabs him) Size does matter!
(Ladybug kicks the door, but sees nobody in the studio.)
Nino: Ladybug!
Ladybug: Oh... Hey! You OK?
Nino: I'm fine, but my boy Adrien's still here somewhere!
Ladybug: Don't worry, we'll find him.
Cat Noir: I quit karate. (The elevator opens and a lady comes. She gets frightened) Oh, hey there, Ladybug! (Breaks free from the Gorilla and throws him to the elevator) Enough already. Cataclysm! (uses his Cataclysm to make the elevator malfunction, and the Gorilla falls. Cat Noir picks up his staff, and sees Ladybug and Nino)

Madison rewinded the episode a small bit and paused. "You see this! Why you happy! You killed someone!" Madison cleared her throat and sat back down.

Ladybug: Nice seeing you too, Cat Noir.

"I was impressed."

"I was trying to do something cool." Adrien shrugged.

Cat Noir: Oh, sorry. I thought you were Simon Says.
Nino: I saw him! He's got a whole army together!
Cat Noir: He's looking for Gabriel Agreste. We better get to him faster then they can! (His Miraculous flashes)
Ladybug: Cat Noir, you're about to change back! I'll take one last look around for Nino's friend.
Cat Noir: Uh... Forget it! He's probably hypnotized.
Nino: But he's my buddy!

"Chat: No one cares about Adrien. Nino:I care. Chat:He's okay. Go look." Madison commented and they laughed.

Cat Noir: Uh... you're right. Maye he's hiding. I'll leave you to look for him. Let's meet up at Gabriel Agreste's place later on. (closes the door) Finding Adrien will be a piece of cake! (turns back into Adrien) Plagg, hide.

"Wait!" She rewinded again and paused.

"That's so cool!" Everyone looked at Adrien and the screen back and fourth.

"Adrien is confirmed God." Madison laughed.

Adrien: Nino!
Nino: Adrien! Dude, you okay?

"Bro hug." Kim laughed.

Adrien: I'm fine. (sees Ladybug) ...Hello?
Ladybug: Uh... Hello! You sure you're okay?
Adrien: I'm fine, really.

Everyone squealed. "You blushed! You freaking blushed!" Adrien turned red.

But we've got to get to my house now! My father's in danger!
Ladybug: Let's go. Cat Noir will meet us there.
Scene: Agreste mansion.

Adrien: Natalie, where's my father? He's in danger!
Nathalie: He knows already.
Gabriel: Good evening, Ladybug.
Adrien: Father, you've gotta get outta here. That hypnotist Simon Says is coming after you!
Gabriel: What? And be dictated by a madman? Certainly not.
Adrien: But father, he's dangerous! Who knows what he'll do?
Gabriel: Head up to your room now. You've had enough excitement for today. Nathalie, make sure they sleep there. I have to apologize for my son, Ladybug. He's like his mother. Way to overly dramatic.
Ladybug: But he's right, you know. Simon Says is a real threat. You're in a lot of danger!
Gabriel: What could possibly happen with you here to protect me?

Alix and Madison threw Popcorn at the screen. "To close! He is hitting on a teenager! Teenager!"

Nino: You sure your old man isn't some robot or something?
Adrien: When my father's concerned I'm never sure of anything.
(They enter Adrien's room)
Nino: Dude! I've seen stadiums tinier than your room!
Adrien: Make yourself at home. I'm gonna take a shower.
Nino: Now?
Adrien: What can I say? It's the model in me!

"Who the fuck smiles like that!" Madison yelled.

(enters the shower) Why doesn't my father ever listen to me?

[ Transformation Sequence]
Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien turns into Cat Noir)

(Meanwhile, Ladybug sees some pictures of Adrien modeling.)
Gabriel: Isn't he flawless?
Ladybug: Huh? What? Flaw-what?
Gabtiel: Adrien, my son. He's the image of perfection, don't you think?
Ladybug: Oh, yes, he's perfect. I mean, um, I don't know him very well, but he seems...

"Omg you lathered onto Adrien to his dad!" Alya laughed.

"What no!"

"You just did." Nino laughed as Adrien turned red.

Gabriel: I've never noticed your earrings before. They are quite unique. May I?

"Back off Hawky!" Madison yelled and Adrien looked at her. "One of your theories is that Gabriel's Hawkmoth but we don't know." She shrugged and Adrien calmed down.

(Ladybug's phone rings)
Ladybug: Excuse me. Cat Noir, where were you?
Cat Noir: I, I was... keeping Simon Says at bay!
Ladybug: And? Cat Noir?
Cat Noir: (sees the hypnotized people) I couldn't keep him away. He's coming. He's got company.
(Cat Noir enters the room) Hold off all exits! They're coming from another direction! Do as I say! Engage the defense system, we need total lockdown!
(Gabriel activates the total defense system)
Announcer: Lockdown engaged.
Gabriel: How do you know so much about the system?
Cat Noir: Uh... In a house like this... it's a giving!

"So obvious." The class groaned.

Gabriel: They won't get in. This house is built like a fortress.
Scene: Outside the mansion.

Simon Says: Simon says.. destroy! (throws bull cards at the hypnotized people, and they knock the door down)
Announcer: Emergency power on.
Cat Noir: There are too many of them. Your defense system is failing!
Ladybug: Adrien and Nino! I better go get them!
Gabriel: Here, Nathalie. Pick the controls in case you need to unlock an exit. She's coming with you.
Cat Noir; I'll reinforce the outer defenses. Go hide in the atrium. It's not safe in here.
Gabriel: No one tells me what to do. Not even a superhero.
Cat Noir: You're in danger, like everyone else. So stop pretending you're above us all and do what I tell you to!

"Oh shit!" Everyone looked at Adrien.

"He stood up to his dad. That's a big step for him even if it's as Chat." Marinette hugged Adrien.

Gabriel: ... ...Quite a temper. You remind me of someone.
(Cat Noir exits the room. Gabriel looks at a picture of Mrs. Agreste.)
Scene: Outside the mansion. The hypnotized people are invading.

Hawk Moth: I don't think that's a good idea, Simon Says.
Simon Says: Gabriel is here!
Hawk Moth: Yes, but don't forget our deal. I feel Ladybug and Cat Noir are nearby. Once you've got them in front of you, you'll be able to honor our agreement. Just take their jewels, the Miraculouses.
Simon Says: It's as good as done. Simon says we'll defeat them!
Agreste Mansion. Ladybug and Nathalie enter Adrien's room.

Nino: Ladybug! What's going down?
Ladybug: We need to move to a safer ground. Where is Adrien?
Nino: Taking a shower.
Ladybug: Now?
Nino: It's the model in him.

"Why do you look so smug?" Alya crossed her arms.

"I wasn't smug I was being helpful."

Ladybug: Take Nino to the atrium. I'll take care of Adrien. Leave the remote control with me. (Nathalie gives her the remote control) Adrien?
(Cat Noir enters the bathroom and hears her. He turns the shower on)
Adrien: Yeah?
Ladybug: Oh! Must... to go! He he. Too dangerous... To leave!
Adrien: Can I put on my clothes first?
Ladybug: Sure! If you must... I-I mean, of course you can.

"Only if I can help~" Marinette winked at Adrien who turned red.

"Damn! You smooth as fuck!" Alix and Kim laughed.

Scene: Nathalie and Nino go to where Gabriel is.

Gabriel: Where's my son?
Nino: He'll be here. He's with Ladybug.
Scene; Adrien's room. Ladybug sees there is a picture of Mrs. Agreste on the computer.

Adrien: My mother on her 17th birthday. She's pretty, huh?
Adrien and Ladybug: She's... got your smile. Huh?

"Awwwwwwww. You dorks! But you fell in love with perfection. That's why MariChat is OTP." Madison ate her popcorn and gave Nathanael some.

(The hypnotized people invade the mansion)
Ladybug: Stay here! (closes the door)
Plagg: Oh my! What was that all about? Sweet love?
Adrien: ...Gotta help her! Plagg, claws out!
Plagg: Oh, not again!
Gabriel: Are they coming?
(Nathalie tries to keep the door locked, but the hypnotized people knock it over)
Simon Says: Gotcha.
(Meanwhile, Cat Noir arrives at the ceiling, but the hypnotized people are out to get him. Ladybug, in Adrien's room, is dodging them. She goes to Gabriel's room, but sees nobody there.)
Cat Noir: Well, that's just great.
Scene: TVi Studio.

Simon Says: Welcome to another exciting hour of "The Challenge"! Good evening again from Simon Says. Viewers, I've kept my promise. Here's Gabriel!
(Gabriel appears, the Gorilla accompanying him.)
Simon Says: Simon says... you are a butterfly! (throws a butterfly card at him)
Gabriel: Flap flap, flutter flutter, flutter, flutter, flap, flap!
Ladybug; We've gotta save Mr. Agreste!
Simon Says: Tomorrow, Butterfly, you will be no more.
Ladybug: The akuma's gotta be in one of those cards.
Cat Noir: But which one? There are so many of'em.
(Ladybug and Cat Noir enter the studio)
Simon Says: Ladybug, Cat Noir, you can save him by giving me your Miraculouses. Do the right thing...
Ladybug: In your dreams. Lucky Charm! (Throws the yo-yo into the air and a yo-yo appears)
Cat Noir: A regular yo-yo? But you've got a magical one!
Ladybug: I'll figure it out later.
Simon Says: Simon says... your yo-yo is useless! (throws a card at the yo-yo and it falls to the floor. Cat Noir knocks his card over) Simon says... you're stick is-!
Cat Noir: Useless? I don't think so. I'm not gonna let you get a word in edge wise!
(Ladybug starts ripping off the cards, to see if the akuma is in one of them)
Simon Says: Simon says...
Cat Noiir: (tries to not hear Simon)
Simon Says: It doesn't matter whether you can hear me or not, all that is important is what Simon says! Simon says remove your Miraculous and give it to me!
(Cat Noir avoids the cards and pushes Ladybug away from them.)

"Oh god. Why do you give us pain!" Mylene fake cried.

Gabriel: ...Flap, flutter, flutter, flap...
Simon Says: Simon says... take off like an airplane! (Throws an airplane card at him and he starts acting like an airplane)
Cat Noir; He's headed for the roof. We got to stop him.
(Ladybug stops him)
Ladybug: This is our last chance to capture the akuma and I can't do it alone! If we free Simon Says, we free Mr. Agreste too!
Cat Noir: Then let's not waste another minute.
Simon Says: And how will you defeat me without your yo-yo?
(Gabriel enters the roof and starts running around like an airplane.)
Simon Says: Simon says... it's over! (throws black cards at them, but Cat Noir hits them)

"He just tried to kill you." Nino looked at the two who were snuggling. "Never mind." He turned back to the episode.

Ladybug: Follow my lead.
Simon Says: Simon says...
(Ladybug knocks the card over with the regular yo-yo. Cat Noir steps on the yo-yo and uses his Cataclysm to rip off the cards. The akuma flies off them)
Simon Says: That's not possible! I made your yo-yo useless!
Ladybug: This one yes, but not that one. Miraculous Ladybug! (throws the Lucky Charm into the air and its energy de-hypnotizes the people, and fixes Ladybug's yo-yo.) My yo-yo! No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! (catches the akuma with her yo-yo) Gotcha! (releases the akuma, turning it into a normal butterfly) Bye bye, little butterfly.
(Simon Says is turned back into Simon)
Ladybug and Cat Noir: Pound it!
(They go to the roof and see Gabriel.)
Cat Noir: I'm afraid your flight's been canceled, sir.
Gabriel: You?
Cat Noir: Prefer Ladybug? Can't say I blame you.
(Their Miraculouses beep)
Ladybug: Cat Noir, your ring! You better get out of here.
Cat Noir: Like a cat on a hot tin roof. See you again soon, Mr. Agreste. And you, m'lady. (Bows then runs off)

"Stop flirting in front of your dad. It's weird and creepy and no one does it."

"He didn't know it was me. Back off." Adrien growled.

Gabriel: Hmm...
Scene: Adrien's room. Adrien is seeing pictures of his mother on the phone.

(Gabriel comes and hugs him. He notices his ring)
Gabriel: I've never noticed your ring before.
Adrien: Is that the only thing you've never noticed about me?
Gabriel: I'm glad everything worked out for the best.

(Adrien looks at his ring, Plagg looks at him from his shoulder, he sighs and his ears fell)

Scene: TVi Studio. The Challenge is on the air again.

Alec: Welcome back to everyone's #1 game show, The Challenge! Last week, our cool DJ friend Nino won the challenge. So, let's welcome him back again. Come on out, DJ Nino!
(Nino enters the stage)
Tom: Looks like you weren't absent or late all week! Excellent news, Marinette. You can go join your friends on the set.
Marinette: I think I'd rather watch here with you guys. That's... if you and Mom like that?
(Marinette hugs her parents)
Alec: So we upped the challenge for you tonight, Nino. You're gonna have to get 2 celebrities dancing instead of one! However, this time, you can choose your opponents.
Nino: Oh, I've got this one in the bag. I'm gonna pick 2 buds I know won't let me down. Ladybug and Cat Noir!
(Marinette gasps) On second thought, I'm late. I'm gonna take a nap. Don't wanna be late for school tomorrow! And, you know, miss up that perfect school record! Tell me what happens, 'kay?
Tom: Sure.
Sabine: Of course, honey.
Tom: Sometimes I just can't figure that girl out.
Sabine; Oh, give her a break. You know there's nothing more demanding than going to school! (hugs Tom)

"Her hand is so tiny!" Rose squealed.

(Ladybug goes to the roof, and swings her way to the studio.)
THE END

"How did Adrien pull that off?"

"Went to the bathroom and said the stall door wouldn't budge." Adrien shrugged.

"You two are the best buds I have!" He hugged the two and they hugged back.

"I was glad to help!" Marinette laughed and pushed Nino away. "What's next?"

"Hmm I think I'll do." Madison put her hand to her chin then got an idea. "I'll do The Mime!" She squealed and everyone got more snacks and sat down.
